[Sae shakes her head, sighing softly. Her expression is wistful]
No… my sister and I tried to escape, but… it didn’t work. Or rather, we fell and got separated. The village found me and they never found Yae.
They sacrificed me by myself. But they did it wrong; I came back. And I wiped the village off the map, and everyone in it.
[Her fingers curl into her kimono and she takes a deep breath, slowly uncurling them again.] The place was cursed and I was in the dark for a long time. Then someone came and broke the curse. And I came here.
[Tiffany doesn't want to be repetitive by saying it out loud again, but she repeats it in her head: Jeeeeeeeeeesus. Her fingers clench on the railing, but - overkill or not, heinousness of killing those in the village who were innocents or not - her anger isn't directed at Sae.]
I'm sorry about what they did to you. And I'm sorry-- I'm sorry you lost Yae.
[She lets out a shaky breath.]
Has anybody ever told you that you didn't deserve all the shit they put you through?
[It's not often she hears people express that-- maybe two or three times now, and every time she doesn't know what to do or say in response. She supposes they're right, even if Sae twists it in her own head. She didn't deserve to die like that. It should've been Yae killing her. That would've been the only proper way.
She rubs her arms a little and looks at Tiffany quietly, as if trying to decide what to say.]
I don't know. I mean... I'm glad that people care. It's... different, and a little strange. But it's nice. I don't think I deserved to go like that either, even if...I knew I would have to, some time.
I didn't mind doing the ritual. I wanted to help my village, but... Not like that. [She sighs deeply and looks away at the stars again] I don't know. I've never known anything different, so being here has been...odd.
I felt the same way when I got here. Kind of. I ain't gonna pretend I was raised to be killed in a ritual, but... I weren't used to being valued, is what I mean.
People are...very nice here. And... They really seem to care about me and like me. At least, the ones I have met have been. Sometimes, I wish I could show the people of the village how much I could be liked.

I wish I could do that, too.
